Trekking Tip 1:  quick fitness check

Don’t let the thought of strenuous activity intimidate you! While you don’t need to be a seasoned climber, a decent level of fitness will enhance your trekking experience. A few weeks without training? No problem if you listen to our trekking tips! As long as you have a zest for the outdoors and can walk for several hours, you’ll thrive during this journey. Remember, it’s not just about endurance; it’s about embracing nature and enjoying every moment.

 

Trekking Tip 2: perfect outfit for your trekking day

Your attire can make or break your adventure, so here are some vital tips for trekking: Opt for well-worn trekking or sports shoes. They’ll provide the comfort and grip you need on uneven terrain. Long trousers are a must to protect against scrapes and insect bites, while a breathable T-shirt will keep you cool as you explore.

And if the rainforest lives up to its name and takes this very literally on your trekking day, fear not! We’ll provide rainponchos and rubber boots to keep you dry. And a very important tip: Don’t forget to pack a sun hat or cap – those tropical sun rays can be sneaky, even beneath the thick canopy.

And here’s another tip for trekking: bring a change of clothes! After your exhilarating trek, you can shower and refresh yourself at Balikaru, where towels will be waiting for you.

 

Trekking Tip 3: packing essentials

As you prepare, remember that a small backpack is your best friend. It should have ample space for your essentials. Make sure to include sunscreen with a high SPF to shield your skin from UV rays and insect repellent to ward off pesky bugs. These tips for trekking will ensure you’re well-equipped for all circumstances.
